Garage Door Installation

Read on to find out about the considerations involved in choosing a garage door.

Garage door style:

Choose the style of your garage door based on your preferences and home style. You can also keep in mind the fact that some styles of garage doors may pair well with certain architectural styles. Clopay garage doors are available in three major styles:

• Carriage-house
  
• Contemporary
• Traditional raised-panel

Check out this brochure for more information.

You can try a garage door on your home using Clopay's Door Imagination System . Our staff will guide you on how to use this system to find your ideal style.

Garage door finish:

Based on your taste, you can choose a finish that best reflects the look you want your garage door to have. It is advisable to choose a finish that holds up best in the prevailing climatic conditions of your area, and that also complements your home's exterior and increases its overall value.

Whether you like a natural wood look for your garage door or an eye-catching bold hue, you can find a finish that suits your taste. You'll be glad to know that we offer an incredible variety of finish options.

Clopay's Color Blast program can be used to create exciting hues. Call our staff to find out more about choosing the right garage door finish.

Garage door windows:

Garage doors with windows can add character and provide a unique look to any home - contemporary or vintage. Garage door windows are available in a variety of designs and can be customized to match any home style. 

Clopay offers a variety of window styles for garage doors. Call our staff to find out more. Check out our comparison page.

Garage door replacement:

The most important factor which influences the choice of a new garage door is the budget. The cost of a garage door is determined by various factors including:

• Material
• Insulation
• Style
• Hardware
• Number of doors and sizes

When it comes to determining your budget, you need to consider:

• Importance of the door's aesthetic appeal
• Whether the door needs to be insulated
• Durability

If you're looking for the least expensive garage door, you may be able to find a single-car, non-insulated garage door for your home in the range of $300. This does not include installation charges. These doors are a good choice where questions of style and quiet operation are not a concern, and the usage will be less.

If you want garage doors that provide more benefits, such as durability, energy efficiency, quieter operation, and increased curb appeal, you may need to consider paying anywhere from under $1,000 for a single-car garage door to $4,000 and beyond for fully custom double-car doors.

You can get in touch with our staff to find out more about the different options we have.

Insulated garage doors:

If your budget permits, you can consider opting for insulated garage doors. Given that the garage serves as the largest entryway to most homes, it is highly susceptible to heat loss.

Insulated garage doors not only boost energy efficiency but also provide extra comfort. Talk to our staff today to find out more about Clopay's Intellicore Insulation .

Garage door size:

When it comes to buying a garage door, the first thing you need to consider is the size of your door. This is determined by the dimensions of the vehicle being housed in your garage.

• Single-car garage door: 8 to 9 feet wide and 7 to 8 feet high
• Double-car garage doors: 16 feet wide, with a height of 7 to 8 feet
• Garage doors for garages housing taller vehicles: 10 feet tall or more

Wind-resistant garage doors:

If you're living in an area prone to hurricanes or strong winds, you would most likely need a garage door that's wind-resistant. 

You can ask our staff for more details about Clopay's WindCode garage doors that are rated for different wind speeds, and we'll work with you to figure out what is needed in your area. These doors are also StormReady and have built-in reinforcement options. 

Garage door track options:

One of the most important things to be kept in mind when buying a new garage door is choosing the right track. The tracks house and guide the rollers which enable the garage door to operate smoothly.

You must choose tracks that fit the garage as this allows for the right amount of headroom and sideroom required for the door to operate. The experienced staff at M.R. Door Inc will make you aware of the various track options offered by Clopay to accommodate different garage layouts and needs.
